saab 9-3 no start - crank position sensor

After my car died on the highway I had to figure it out on my own, I end up stumbling my way through repairing it and replacing the crank position sensor.

fuel pump? remove the back seat and use light violence with a hammer above the fueltank.

If you can crank the engine but tacho doesnt move its likely a crank position sensor.

hi what was the problem im having the same issue but i cant find a solution thanks

The problem is NOT that difficult to solve, you only need to follow a few steps:
1.- Check there is gasoline in your tank..fuel gauge IS NOT Accurate. Mine stalled once and it was gas.
2.- If there is Fuel in your tank..check if you have Fuel Line Pressure..just remove cap on top of Schrader valve on Fuel Rail...if gas comes out with pressure ..you are OK...if nothing comes out..problem is Fuel Pump Relay...Fuse..or Fuel Pump.
3.- IF gas OK...and fuel pressure OK. you have a bad CPS sensor (CrankShaft Position Sensor)- it is located in front of the car in the cilinder block to the Driver side of Engine Block. cost around 30 usd.
Hope you guys find these tips helpful ...avoid replacing parts until you have find the cause of the problem...Car Diagnostics and Repair is very expensive by doing what this guy on the video did..GuessWork...Regards.

Disregard that comment to pull apart rear seat and destroy your car...removing the tank from under the car is the way to do it..and is easier than cutting your car apart under theseat!!

Was soll das Video zeigen? Völliger Nonsens. Wen interessiert, ob dein Auto nicht startet? Zeige lieber, woran das lag.
